try it later, not sure a clean install of XP would not be a better fix.

If you can get to this box from another computer rename system config file
and copy the one from repair to system\config and you should get it to
reboot.

Subject: [H] w2k problem
have a w2k box that is erroring on boot ( some kernel not found or what not.
no current repair disk and the cd can not find the OS, even though the
console can ( has been a problem in the past with w2k) have ran chkdsk /r
twice which has worked in the past with no luck, also the normal fixboot and
fixmbr.
anyway to force the repair process to see the darn %systemroot% ?
right now leaning towards wipe and re install, his data is backed up to
another drive.
shame upgrade can not be done from boot. :'( thanks fp
